The evening of Jan. 2, Brockton police responded to a 911 call from a man about his roommates fighting and one being armed with a knife.
At Savignano s Jan. 4 arraignment in Brockton District Court, Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague said he and Jennette argued over an issue with living arrangements because Savignano had been struggling financially.
Officers found Jennette unresponsive and bleeding from multiple stab wounds and Savignano standing in the living room covered in blood. He allegedly told police that he had stabbed someone.
Jennette was taken to Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton, where he died.
A Brockton police report said Savignano stabbed Jennette about 10 times with a metal bar fashioned into a knife.
